Gold is an extremely coveted commodity for the Balinese, and as gold jewelry is much preferred to sterling silver, the Balinese will invest any excess money they have in buying gold.

Bali gold is 24 carat, which has a redder color than the more common 18 carat worn in the west. It is very soft, and can be manipulated to make a variety of items, from fine chains to elegant earrings and pendants.

The traditional center for purchasing gold is in the capital city Denpasar, where there are rows of gold shops all offering similar styles. Everything is sold by the weight, and can be resold at the market price if you retain the original receipt.

There are many gold smiths based in a small village near Ubud, who create various ceremonial objects out of gold. Bowls, and vessels for carrying offerings, as well as sacred Kris knifes are all made, and sold in the markets. These are all used in the temples, but are also for sale for the general public.

bali gold jewelry

There is a long tradition of working in gold in Bali. For hundreds of years, the highly skilled Balinese artisans created exquisite ornaments and jewelry for the aristocracy. This jewelry was made in a very ornate style, and is still used to this day as part of temple wear.

The most common styles of Bali gold jewelry are ear plugs, gold chains pendants and big gold rings. The rings, made using large gemstones are particularly popular with the older Balinese men. The priests wear several at a time as they are thought to provide protection against evil.

Balinese women wear large gold earrings and necklaces when going to the temple. These pieces of jewelry add elegance to their temple clothing, and the gold color glows beautifully against their dark skin.

Balinese female babies have their ears pierced at the age of one month, and delicate gold hoops are used to put in their ears. There are various sizes of hoops to be found, to suit all ages. These can be plain, or with engraved designs along the edges.

how is bali gold jewelry created?

The ancient techniques of Bali gold smiting have been passed down from generation to generation, and younger men work beside the older masters to learn the patterns and techniques by imitation and repetition. Each individual bezel, bead and component is skillfully crafted by hand.

The most distinct style that is used on Bali gold jewelry is the granulation technique. The process for making these granulation styles begins with cutting wire in to short lengths. These are melted until they form round granules, which are then placed on the jewelry, and held in place with plant sap.

The tiny balls are attached permanently by heating with a small flame to evaporate the plant sap. The temperature needs to be regulated carefully to avoid melting the balls out of shape.

This granulation technique is used to make earrings, pendants and rings. These can be made of plain gold or combined with gemstones or pearls, where the rich colors compliment each other beautifully.

gold plating

Bali gold follows the market gold prices, but if you are looking to buy a product that is less expensive, but still has the gold color, you could consider purchasing gold plated items. There are various outlets offering this option.

Gold plating involves dipping brass, or silver items in to a gold mixture, that provides a layer of gold over the top. This will not last forever, so for a long lasting gold color, pure gold is always a better option.
